My volume one has developed errors and only plays part way.

I need to find a replacement.

Were do I find volume one. I have many many old radios from Fada to GE to Philco. I rework the outside but have no clue on the inside. They are nice looking paper weights on the shelf. No classes around to show me how to rebuild the chassis. Please reply to my post. Is there a deal on buying vol 1 and 2? Im in the Buffalo, NY areaif anyone has some cheap old wood radios that I can buy. I need some electrical training if your local too. This is written in English for America!

I thought about fixing up an old tube job in my spare time but finding out about grounding and safety filters (and the high danger of electrocution) made me think differently. Darnit.

Restoring old radios is not that bad as long as you take a few precautions and be SAFE! Always remember the "one-hand" rule... always have one hand in your pocket when working on a live circuit. Also good to remember that most of these old radios were referenced to chassis ground, not earth ground. There can be a VERY big difference in the two. In short -- grounding an old radio like this to earth ground is probably NOT a good idea. Also, use a variac so you won't blow out any dry caps.

@wkat950 Just like driving a car. There is danger, but if you can be educated how to cope with it, the resto of radios is fun and worthwhile as a hobby. You don't just stick your hands in to the chassis.
